JennAir Lustre JEC3430HS Cooktop F.A.Q.

How do I properly clean the JennAir Lustre JEC3430HS Cooktop?

To clean the cooktop, ensure it is cool to the touch. Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water to wipe down the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, as they can damage the finish. For stubborn stains, use a cooktop cleaner recommended by JennAir.

What should I do if one of the burners is not igniting?

First, ensure the cooktop is properly connected to a power source. Check that the burner cap is properly aligned and seated. If the problem persists, clean the burner ports with a soft brush to remove any debris. If the issue remains unresolved, contact JennAir customer support.

How do I lock the controls on my JennAir cooktop to prevent accidental activation?

To lock the controls, press and hold the "Control Lock" button until the indicator light turns on. This will prevent any changes to the settings until the controls are unlocked by pressing and holding the same button again.

Can I use cast iron cookware on the JennAir Lustre JEC3430HS Cooktop?

Yes, you can use cast iron cookware. However, be cautious as cast iron can scratch the cooktop surface. Ensure the bottom of the cookware is clean and smooth before use.

What does the error code F1E0 mean on my JennAir cooktop?

Error code F1E0 indicates a problem with the touch control panel. Try resetting the cooktop by turning off the power at the circuit breaker for one minute, then turning it back on. If the error persists, contact a qualified technician.

How can I improve the energy efficiency of my JennAir cooktop?

To improve energy efficiency, use cookware with flat bottoms and match the size of the pan to the size of the burner. Cover pans with lids to retain heat and reduce cooking times.

Is it normal for the cooktop surface to get hot even when only one burner is used?

Yes, it is normal for the cooktop surface to get warm when a burner is in use due to heat transfer. Always use caution and avoid placing heat-sensitive items on the surface.

How do I adjust the flame on the gas burners for optimal cooking?

To adjust the flame, turn the control knob to the desired setting. A proper flame should be blue and steady. If the flame is too high or flickering, adjust the knob until you achieve a steady blue flame.

What should I do if the cooktop glass cracks?

If the cooktop glass cracks, discontinue use immediately to avoid electric shock or further damage. Contact JennAir customer service or a certified technician to assess and replace the glass.

Can I use aluminum foil on my JennAir cooktop to catch spills?

No, using aluminum foil on the cooktop is not recommended as it can cause heat damage and potentially interfere with the burner performance. Instead, clean spills promptly with a damp cloth.
